Opening a RadScheduleView in Expression Blend

[Rosco]

I am currently trying to style appointments as part of the RadScheduleView in Silverlight as described here http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radscheduleview-styles-and-templates-appointment-style.html#_Using_the_AppointmentStyleSelector_to_style_Appointments

How do I open the instance of RadScheduler in blend? I have tried to open up the entire solution in Expression Blend, however I get the following error when I try to load up the XAML containing the RadScheduleView.

ArgumentException: Value does not fall within the expected range.
at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(IntPtr ptr, String name, CValue[] cvData)
at MS.Internal.XcpImports.MethodEx(DependencyObject obj, String name)
at MS.Internal.XcpImports.UIElement_UpdateLayout(UIElement element)

Removing the RadScheduleView from the XAML gets rid of this error. Any idea of what's going on?

Hi,

I am sorry for the inconvenience. Sometimes Blend fails to create the Styles and ControlTemplate for an object. You could try to get the theme resource dictionary for RadScheduleView from here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Telerik\RadControls for Silverlight Q2 2011\Themes\OfficeBlack\Themes\Office\Black\ScheduleView.xaml

Note that probably your installation path would differ on your computer. You could merge it in your app.xaml file and edit the resources within.

Kind regards,
